Well hi there.  I now offer consulting services for Venue Design & Community
Development, primarily for Nonprofits.  I specialize in taking old defunct or nearly
closed churches and turning them into vibrant community spaces that become
self sustaining within 2 years.   Also some work with Weddings - Music, Planning, etc.

"The magic he has created at the [Fremont] Abbey [Arts Center] and
in Fremont is off the charts.  I’m always energized after my conversations with Nathan.
He is someone who knows how to bring people together to make things happen."
- Karen True, former director of 3rd Place Commons & founder of Great Places Declaration

Fees vary and often I can offer an initial
consulting meeting for dinner and a beer.
Please contact me for further information &
to schedule a meeting at your location or in Seattle.

"Nathan Marion understands the importance of 3^rd spaces, and the significant role a space like this
can play in the life of a community.  What he has done with the Fremont Abbey is phenomenal,
and has served our church as a model for how to engage our neighbors in loving, supportive and innovative ways. 
He’s been a great resource for our church’s coffee shop, The Green Bean (www.greenbeancoffee.org)
and has helped us think creatively about how our space can be more of a “community” space. 
You won’t regret paying him thousands upon thousands of dollars." - Mark Mohrlang, Seattle

Nathan Marion brings professionalism, hipness, cordiality and serious mission-mindedness
to the table all at once when you work with him. It's hard to get all of that out of
just one single human being. Nathan has great instincts for what he does.
